ok for those who missed it or just couldn't be bothered to stay up late enough to see it...
Here is some photos of the Lunar Eclipse last night... 9.29pm 
9.36pm 
9.46pm 
and its covered 9.53pm 
We took these photos from our telescope by putting the camera over the view lense - it took some skill from my 14 year old  I think he did well!------------- Ann

Nice pics Ann! Go Josh, what a clever idea. We didn't see it coz it was pitch black and pouring with rain.  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Thank you so much for puttung the photo's up, I showed the boys these this morning on the other post and they were rapt. We missed it I promised the boys I would wake them up, but it was so cloudy where we are you couldn't even see the moon. ------------- Abigail 06/01/2005 Jayden 21/11/2001 Micheal 03/04/1997 |

It was over cast and we thought we wouldn't see it either but about 5 mins before it started the sky cleared and didn't cloud over till about 10 mins after that last photo was took, it did clear again about 11pm but was over it by then ------------- Ann

| Thanks for the the piccies! We weren't expecting to see it in Hamilton (always clouds over or rains at any crucial viewing) but for once we saw the 'bloody' moon. Very inventive boy your son! |

it did go more red but by then the clouds kept coming over (after all we are in taranaki  ) and Josh had put the telescope away.
Got to print the photos now for Brooke to take to school. ------------- Ann

I wanted to watch it but it was blowing a gale and p-ing down in Auckland so I didn't think we would be able to see anything. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
